Nice but not working with Firefox Browser ?
Need Arc, Chrome or Edge ?

Safari and Firefox don’t support the FileSystemAPI on directories which is essential for working with a BB project and SD cards.
When Safari or Firefox adds support, the editor will just work, I would say bug their forums!
More news soon thanks for the question

Since Chrome is apparently the only Mac friendly browser that will support BBMO at this time, that fact ought to be noted in the setup section of the manual. If Safari and/or Firefox ever add support, you can edit the manual at that time. That is saying simply that the MANUAL, and not random forum posts, should be where users are provided with the information they need to use the product.

Edge is also Mac friendly, I use it myself with no issue!
We will take your feedback and will apply it to the next manual version,
Thanks

Thanks, Brennan. I hadn’t heard of Edge, but I’ll probably install it just to use with BBMO. I’m not a fan of Chrome.

My pleasure!
I really love edge, it’s a great browser! I run it just fine on M1 running Sonoma and on Intel Mac on Catalina 10.15.7

Thank you. SS and BBFF. Firefox has been non functional on many sites for quite sometime, don’t wait for it. Edge at its core is chrome by M$ and will be being fed ads. Chrome has the fastest development cycle? Resistance is futile.

This is potentially great news. Will the new Midi Editor work more like a DAW with proper note on/off and copy/paste editing ability? (For instance, drums sets with Bass Guitars) If so, game changer for me personally.

Yep!!! Correct read the manual for all the info on how to use the midi editor and all of the included features!
We’ve basically become a host for a premiere free midi editor that anyone can use even without an SD card or BeatBuddy unit
The included emulator means you can hear things before you put them on your BeatBuddy, edit from anywhere you have wifi!

I use Arc, been using it mostly with BBFF, now BBMO. Uses the Chrome architecture but respects privacy. Also not a fan of Chrome.

I see the latest version was released today. Any place where we can follow version history, what’s new, etc.?
Thanks.

Good point! We will build something that is housed in our website but basically just some minor bug fixes so far. We are primarily looking for immediate bugs to fix and have the app running smoothly.
We will have the same changelog feature soon!
Thanks for the question

Firefox user here. Don’t care for Chrome, but do have it on the computer. Tried to open BBMO with Chrome, but got a message wasn’t supported. Somewhere could it be noted what OS or browser versions support the BBMO, as the latest version of Chrome on my Win7 PC won’t load it. My ‘non-music’ Win11 PC loaded BBMO OK with Chrome (if I could I would uninstall MS Edge).
Will BBM and BB Loader remain available either on the SS site or here on the forum? Both are still viable and workable programs which would be wise for a BB owner to archive for the future.

Using Command + Z on Mac to undo generates an error. A window comes up stating that
"This site can’t be reached
localhost refused to connect.
Try:
Checking the connection
Checking the proxy and the firewall
ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED"
Using the arrows work fine.

This app is going to edit a opb song like a daw ?? I use reaper. Can I stop using reaper and use this manager??
Have been looking at BBMO, using Chrome, latest version on Windows 10.
Have read the manual and have started to try and use.
So far NOT IMPRESSED. Looks nice, and having read the manual started to try and do some editing. At this stage not creating stuff from scratch, but trying to tidy up stuff created ages ago using BB Manager.
The problem appears to be that it all freezes and locks up after completing a few steps. So I want to delete an existing song. Navigate to song in list and it all displays nicely.
Delete all the song parts in the midi editor window, and then use the 3dot menu in song list to delete the song entry. Save Project. Now the whole page appears locked. After about 30 or 40 seconds a window appears stating “Page Unresponsive you can wait for it to become responsive or exit the page” with the |Song name|Songs|Beatbuddy Manager displayed in a box, with a button for Wait and Exit Page. Clicking the Wait button does nothing except display the same message after another 30 or 40 seconds. Clicking the Exit button displays the error message “Error code: RESULT_CODE_HUNG”.
And here was I hoping for something from SS that actually works well and intuitively, but apparently not. Initial excitement that I could “easily” edit and copy BB content has only resulted in more disappointment.
Would love to hear from anyone who may be able to suggest why this is happening?

@guifreitas I still use Logic, after all is a stronger app, easier to make bulk selections, etc. but you can still do a LOT in BBMO that you usually use a DAW for. And, since BB tends to truncate notes that overlap in some situations, I import to BBMO and then edit other things there. It is very good at lowering note velocities, when you find that the drumkit used sounds too harsh, etc.
@Montage9 Sorry to hear that. I’ve been using BBFF almost since day 1, and, as any new software, found some bugs that were fixed by Andrew very fast, until it became a very stable web app. I’ve used it without issues for a while now, even though I prefer actual apps not dependent on internet availability.
Having said that, I have found minor issues since the app “moved to its new location”. Nothing as serious as a freeze, but, for example, using the keyboard shortcut for Undo on Mac, a strange popup appears stating that the site can’t be reached. Even though, the app performs the undo, is just that the popup is annoying.
I will follow your steps and try to replicate your issue. Mine is a Mac, I use Arc, not Chrome. Will let you know.
